Stirling Energy Systems
Stirling Energy Systems, Inc. (SES) is a pioneer in the design and development of Concentrated Solar Power solutions.
The company’s unique technology, the SunCatcher, combines a mirrored concentrator dish with a high-efficiency Stirling engine, specially designed to convert sunlight to electricity. The SunCatcher systems will cost-effectively deliver the highest efficiency solar solution at a fraction of the water requirements of competing technologies. Each dish generates 25kW of electricity and can be scaled modularly from 25MW to over 1,000MW.
With more than 50,000 hours of on-sun testing, the SunCatcher is currently being prepared for mass production in partnership with substantial manufacturing and industrial organisations.
In line with its strategy to invest in diversified renewable energy, NTR announced an investment of $100m in SES in March 2008.
